A rather special boomerang project has been underway for
some time now and it is time for a sneak preview! Some time ago we were
approached by our old friend Richard Ogilvy, the previous owner of Davro
Boomerangs, who asked if we would be interested in buying a limited run of hand
made boomerangs. These boomerangs were to be made by Richard himself and would
be replicas of some original Herb Smith boomerangs in his possession. We were most happy to
say yes and since then Richard has been busy making exact replicas of Herb
Smith's classic wooden boomerangs, exclusively for Skilltoyz.

We hope to have these on sale by spring (late March all going
well). More details when we have them.

We hope these will be a tribute to Herb Smith, a real
craftsman who was a great boomerang maker and enthusiast.

Below is a photo of the original Herb Smith boomerangs in
Richards possession, each with hand written notes by Herb Smith himself. The five boomerangs in the photo, from the top, are:- Distance Model; Viscount Ranger; Blue Tip; Star; Tigarang.

And below is a photo of the replicas that have been lovingly
made by Richard. The five boomerangs in the photo, from the top, are:- Distance Model; Viscount Ranger; Blue Tip; Star; Tigarang.

A customer emailed me to say he had a faulty yo-yo bearing.
The bearing had been working ok but after a time became slow and would not spin
very well: his bearing had broken! However, bearings rarely “break”, but they can
become contaminated with dirt etc. For
example, with a yoyo bearing, tiny fragments of response pad material [...]

We were asked if we could get our popular ceramic size C (R188) bearings without shields, and we now have stock for sale. Shields are the side covers that hide the bearings. The shields help protect the inner bearings and moving parts from dust and dirt. However, some spinner enthusiasts and pro yoyo players prefer unshielded (aka [...]
